Human Frailties, Human Strengths: Cover Art

Husband-Beast (aka Chinchbug, to his artist friends) has done a gorgeous cover for Human Frailties, Human Strengths, and I wanted to share it before the story comes out. He's currently hard at work on covers for the five-book sci fi series, the first book of which will be out in early 2014, if all goes according to plan (shh... don't tell the Universe I said that...). The nice thing about having my cover artist living in my house (and dependent on me for meals, laundry, bathroom cleaning, and kid-wrangling) is that we can have conversations like this:

Jaye: Dude, can you make Ash look a little more evil?Chinchbug: (not Husband-Beast, because he's in Artist Mode, and we have to Respect that) Evil?Jaye: Yeah, you know, like he eats puppies for breakfast, or something.Chinchbug: Hmm... I think I might actually have a template for that...Jaye: (impressed) Really? Chinchbug: After reading your synopsis and character descriptions for that sci fi series, I figured I was going to need a lot of shocked, terrified, and generally miserable dudes for the covers.Jaye: (shuffling feet)Er... they get happy endings...Chinchbug: Yeah, well, let's just say I'm glad I don't live in your head and leave it at that, shall we?

About Me

Writer, dreamer, warrior, doggie-doorman, poet, punk, tech-stupid, and queer AF. I write fantasy and science fiction stories about hot guys who have the hots for each other, and I take great delight in making them work darn hard for their happy endings. They hate me and I never get invited to their parties.
